Summary

Woodland Acres Elementary School is a public magnet school in Jacksonville, Florida, serving 505 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Duval School District, which is ranked 54 out of 67 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Woodland Acres has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Florida elementary schools over the past several years.

Woodland Acres faces significant challenges, including extremely high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 30.9% to 63.5% over the past few years, well above the district and state averages. Academically, the school's students perform well below their peers across the district and state in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. For example, in 2024-2025, only 34% of 3rd graders were proficient in ELA, compared to 51% in the district and 57% statewide. The school also has a very high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 68.12% to 73.98% over the past few years.

Interestingly, the nearby schools, such as Holiday Hill Elementary, Arlington Heights Elementary, and Southside Estates Elementary, generally perform better than Woodland Acres across academic metrics, suggesting the school may face unique challenges. Despite relatively high per-student spending and a relatively low student-teacher ratio, Woodland Acres' performance remains poor, indicating that funding and class size may not be the primary drivers of student outcomes.
